Back To School

After our wonderful success as teachers in Kindargaten-2 (the post was called We Are Teachers), we were invited again to teach Pre-K.

Last time in K-2, we taught them about animal growth and animal cycle; here in Pre-K we taught them about being a pet. This time Mommy only brought me and Papoe, she left our sister, Kroten at the dormitory room because she thought Kroten is too big for this little human.

First, we explain how turtle can also be pet but we make sure that they have to wash their hand after touching us. Those little kids were eager to ask question and touch us.

Unlike before, this time Mommy got a special thank you present, it was a bar of chocolate.

Too bad it was a chocolate, we couldn’t eat it😦 They should have given us something, not only for Mommy. Fortunately Mommy gave us delicious carrot😉

About Kurome

Hi...My name is Kurome (Black turtle). I am a Chinemys Reveesii or Chinese Three-keeled Pond Turtle or Revee's Turtle to be short.
I don't know how old I am but my Mommy adopted me on September 22, 2012

Your momma deserved this gift…it was great that this kids know now how wonderful turtles can be… and I bet some of them will share their house with a turtle once :o) And carrots are anyway better than chocolate… imagine your shell would get too tight from that chocolate… that would be difficult LOL

Such a wonderful experience for both of you! And for mommy too – I agree with Easy, she deserved that chocolate bar.🙂 Your mommy takes you to such fun places, and it’s so nice of you to let the students pet your shells and heads. I’m sure you made them very happy!😀

They are so used with people around them so they are less shy than other turtles.

I told the children that they should never touch turtle’s head because it might bite you unless if the turtle is already tame like mine. I was afraid I gave them the wrong impression of turtles because mine are so tame.

But I have to be very careful because those kids are in the period of recording everything they heard. I don’t want them to get the wrong impression of pet-turtle and wild turtle. And yeah some kids were afraid to touch Kuro and Papoe.
